The P.S. 31 Green STEM Afterschool club spent the past several weeks learning about water: it's significance as a natural resource, how we use it, and how we can conserve it in our homes and schools.
While implementing the Eco-Schools Water Pathway, our team of 4th and 5th graders completed a Water Audit and Action Plan. Students inspected every water source in the school to check for leaks and measure the flow rate.
The following is an impressive summary of their findings including updates and fixes following the audit. They presented their summary to the Custodian Engineer, Giovanni, along with a copy of the school's floor plan that mapped out all the water issues in the building. The Green STEM Afterschool Club students love sharing and working with the Custodian!
"We are the students of the Green STEM Afterschool program, and we have completed a water audit of P.S. 31 from the cafeteria to the fourth floor. During our audit, we visited 32 classrooms/offices/rooms with 14 faucets, 13 bathrooms with 17 faucets, and 8 water fountains. This is what we found: our biggest problems are 3 big leaks. One of the kitchen faucets leaks hot water 24/7 at 10 fl. oz. per 10 seconds, that's 86,400 fl. oz. of water wasted per day!"
After students conducted the water audit, this leak was repaired the following day by the P.S. 31 Custodian Engineer and Cleaners, as they too were aware of the problem and were preparing to fix it. The kitchen faucet has been replaced and is no longer leaking. The first floor water fountain that was also leaking was also fixed the following day after our audit. Students were very excited to see the change and it was nice that their action plan coincided with the custodians' maintenance plan!
"There are also small leaks in water faucets in the bathrooms. We found faucets that were unable to be turned off, high flow faucets that wasted water, loose faucets, and a large variety of faucets in use throughout the building.
Our action plan is multi-step. First, we recommend installing aerators where possible. Second, we recommend fixing all leaks and tightening faucets immediately. Finally, ideally, we believe it would beneficial to install the same consistent low flow water faucets throughout the school that would conserve water. During our audit, we noticed that there are at least 4 different kinds of faucets in the building.
We have set a deadline of Earth Day to implement our action plan. After this date, we will conduct another follow-up audit. We will even attempt to review our school's water bills, to see if the costs go down. The next audit will tell us if our action plan worked.
These are the finding from our water audit conducted in January 2017. Thank you for considering our findings and recommendations
Thank you,
The Eco-Schools Green STEM Afterschool Club".
Update, March 2017: We have since shared our results with the Custodian Engineer of P.S. 31, Giovanni. The leaks have been fixed and are no longer actively leaking. He was very supportive and receptive to student's observations and recommendations. Students feel empowered to continue monitoring the water fountains and faucets and are thrilled that their observations and recommendations are making a real difference for the school and the environment. Stay tuned for our next blog entry on our continued partnership with the Custodian Engineer in designing a functional rain water catchment system in the schoolyard!
We love to see this inspiration and action among the students and hope that you too take a look at water conservation at home and throughout the day! It is a wonderful thing that these students are motivated to continue their observations, and we hope that they bring this critical eye to all areas of their eco-life!

3. Venetian Carnival
Venice, Italy (from February 3 to 13, 2018)
Unique in the world, its origins date back to the 11th century, as an opportunity and way of escape for the nobility to mingle with the people and evade government control by hiding behind the masks. The Senate declared it an official festivity in the 12th century. Prohibited by Napoleon, the Carnival was recovered in 1979, being today a cultural reference worldwide.
This year the carnival will start on February 3rd to 13th. Ten days will fill Venecian streets and canals with masks, costumes and tourists. For those who visit this carnival, on Sunday, february 4th, the traditional "Volo dell'Angelo" will take place. One of the most eagerly awaited moments in which a young Venetian woman disguised as an angel climbs down with a rope from the bell tower to the Piazza San Marco.
4. Carnival of Bohemia
Prague, Czech Republic
The famous Prague Carnival of Bohemia goes back to the tradition of those urban carnivals that had their peak in the 18th century.

One of the most popular and characteristic carnivals declared as International Tourist Interest. The origins of the Cadiz Carnival date back to the 16th century, when it was one of the most important ports of the Spanish Empire, which meant the entry of a large flow of influences from around the world. In particular, Venice shared many commercial ties with Cadiz, among many others traditions.
Today, this tradition is considered as a ritual, and Cadiz people get prepare for this event with gastronomic specialities, "chirigotas" contests, parades and horse riding. Between the most outstanding acts are: the Great end, Official Contest of Carnival Groups at the Falla Theater, the coronation of the Carnival Goddess or the Magna Cavalcade.

Düsseldorf, Germany (February 12, 2018)
The Düsseldorf Carnivals are, together with the Cologne, one of the most important festivals in Germany. The celebrations generally include dances, costumes, drinks and parades.

8. Boonte Störrem
Maastricht, the Netherlands (February 11 to 13, 2018)
The Dutch city of Maastricht, capital of the carnival in Holland, begins each year its celebration on Saturday of carnival with the hoisting of the flag and 11 cannon shots in the central square of Vrijthof. With this starts the great carnival cavalcade or "Boonte Störrem" through the center of the city.
This carnival lasts only three days, but between act and act there is no rest! There are plenty of parades, crowded streets and crowded bars both day and night, there is no lack of music or beer, and concerts, DJs and dance contests are the most popular.
9. Morgestraich
Basel, Switzerland (February 19 to 21, 2018)
The Basel Carnival is the largest popular festival in Switzerland. Celebration that gives the "Morgestraich" (the Monday after Ash Wednesday) when the clock of the tower of St. Martin touches the 4 of the dawn and the lights of the city are extinguished completely. It is then when the lights of the flashlights and the resounding crowd of basilican drummers and flute players fill the void of the night.
During the 72 hours of this carnival, the streets, bars and shops of the city center resonate with songs and fun local characters. Two large processions with more than 10,000 masked people walk down the streets on foot or in a float accompained by a good selection of music. Tour during which they throw confetti and distribute oranges, among other things as popular verses in their particular dialect.

DA reviews 100+ mishandled sex crime cases after SAPD fires detective
SAN ANTONIO – The Bexar County District Attorney's Office is reviewing more than 100 cases that were allegedly mishandled within the San Antonio Police Department's Sex Crimes Unit.
In November of 2017, City of San Antonio officials fired Det. Kenneth Valdez after being accused of mishandling 130 cases, some dating back to 2013.
District Attorney Nico LaHood said the cases have been turned over to his office.
"Those were re-assigned to detectives, so those were re-investigated by SAPD detectives and turned over specifically to our division chief. We made sure we had a process in place. Not just to turn it over to anybody," said LaHood.
LaHood also said the evidence from the cases is being reviewed by two designated prosecutors.
"We don't get to make up the evidence. We just have to deal with what we are given. And this applies to all the 130 cases. We don't have any statute of limitation issues and we don't feel that there's any glaring issues with us right now with those cases because of Det. Valdez," added LaHood.
Kayla Williams' case is one of the 130 SAPD said was mishandled by Det. Valdez.
"It's very emotional for me," said Williams.
The alleged victim claims one year ago she was drugged and gang raped at house party on the southeast side.
"I don't want other people to go through what I have been through," added Williams.
LaHood also said the second phase of the review will be to see if Det. Valdez will face charges. However, for now, LaHood is clear on one thing.
"Those 130 cases are not forgotten. I just to make sure people are at peace with that. They are not forgotten," added LaHood.
On January 23rd, SAPD announced it hired an outside consultant, with more than 30 years of police experience and would advise them how to modify and improve the system.

Adam was a kitten when my sister trapped him, his sister, and his mother. In fact, the kittens were so small, they didn't set off the trap when eating the food. My ingenious brother-in-law tied some chicken up so the kittens would have to jump to get it and that did the trick. None of the cats were happy about being brought into a house, but my sister worked with them and tamed them a bit. My sister kept the two females, but her male cat didn't want another male around, so she offered Adam to me. We have had him eight years now and although he is still skittish, he is quite the daddy's boy. He can almost always be found with my husband. My sister says he is too spoiled, but I don't think there is such a thing when it comes to such a wonderful cat as Adam!

Last week, I wrote about the importance of a new pastoral letter by Bishop Mark Seitz on immigration, a current challenge and source of division in both our national and ecclesial conversations. I supported the content and encouraged action as Catholics. I would be remiss if I did not mention another significant document: the decree by Bishop Thomas Paprocki of Springfield, Illinois, in June on same-sex marriage and related pastoral issues.
When I was a kid, I remember being struck by the somewhat trite, but nonetheless thought-provoking, phrase: "God always answers our prayers — but sometimes the answer is 'no.'" Nobody likes to hear the word "no." Couples struggling to have children turn to immoral fertility treatments to avoid their painful, personal "no." The Church currently is in upheaval over whether or not a couple, divorced and remarried without an annulment, should be told "no" to receiving the Eucharist. Even Jesus faced an agonizing "no" from the Father on the night before his death: "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me" (Mt 26:39). In these moments when we face an answer we don't want to hear, our human frailty is exposed. We would prefer things to go our own way. We certainly think we would be happier.
But would we? Do we believe we were created to satisfy our own wants and desires? Or did God will us here for a higher, holier purpose? It is in the second part of Jesus' plea to his Father in the garden where the correct answer to these questions is found: "Yet, not as I will, but as you will." Where our faith seems to tell us "no," God really is offering us an opportunity to say "yes."
Reading Bishop Paprocki's recent decree, one might be struck by its seeming abundance of "no-ness." Individuals who have entered into a public, same-sex marriage may not receive Communion, they may not serve as a public liturgical minister and they may not be eligible for a Mass of Christian Burial without first repenting of their sins. For many, such definitive statements can be difficult and even frustrating. It can be painful to be told "no," especially when something as personal as the practice of one's faith is concerned. But, as Jesus showed on the cross, when aligned with God's will, it can be transforming. It can be freeing. It is a "yes" to God's will.
In an interview following the release of the decree, Bishop Paprocki commented that he was surprised at the attention it had received. He was, he said, simply stating what the Church always has taught. But the seismic shift in today's culture means that what was once sufficiently stated in the Catechism now must be more precisely spelled out. Bishop Seitz did it on immigration; Bishop Paprocki on pastoral issues relating to same-sex marriage. Two sides of the same coin that is our Church, which proclaims a truth that sets us free and recognizes that out of every "no" we read into God's commands, comes a better, eternal, "yes."

Carolyn Wonderland
When other baby girls were playing with dolls, Carolyn Wonderland was bending strings on her mother's guitar. From those days of child's play has come forth the honest Texas Blues legend that we know today. Soaking up the rich Blues vibe in Houston, Carolyn moved on to the music mecca of Austin, Texas. There Carolyn came to hone a razor sharp, hair splitting edge to her craft with yet more amazing Blues talent. In the end, this Queen Bee of the Blues has blazed a career that has stood the test of time and continues to harness more and more Blues fans worldwide. When an artist truly lives and loves what they do, it shows and shines like a shimmering beacon. In the case of Carolyn Wonderland, she shines like a brilliant Lighthouse in the Blues World.

Please Don't Devour me
There's so many people out there that just lurk about looking for their next target. Waiting to see just what the person will come up with next so that they can charge in. Sounds like wolves right? Of course. I'm a writer and blogger and I've created projects, currently writing scripts for a movie. I also have a Vlog. Here's the thing. No matter what we discovery. There will always be someone who is envious. The envy takes a hold of them and they become wolf like.
How do we Deal With the Wolves
Well, the best thing to do is to proceed, yes. Keep going and engage in positive activities. If needed. Ignore the trolling. Trolls can not offer any substance to anyone's journey. They feed off of getting others down. Keep looking ahead and even if there's thousands of people on the attack. There will always be at least one cheering from the sidelines. Perhaps pretending but doing some "undercover cheering." The ones who are afraid to let others know that they're supportive.
See. The wolves aren't scary at all. They're just bullies who really want attention. Either they need help ot they're just bored. Either way. They don't really need to have the attention. If they're unable to be respectful then move on. Some of the wolves will be very cynical. Yes indeed. As soon as their name appears. The screen seems to fade because they're just that venomous. Poison. The toxins start pouring out as soon as they upload a post or comment.
We'll notice these things on social media sites. Especially sites like Twitter. Twitter use to be a good social media platform. Great for business promotions. Now, it's riddled with trolls, and bullies. Don't know how the CEO of Twitter stays wealthy with all the lawsuits. Anyway. Wolves are on the attack on social media. Facebook isn't so bad. I'm assuming that Facebook was able to get a handle on the bullying. That's what a real business person would do.
We simply don't know who's behind the computer spilling out all sorts of madness. The sad thing is cyber attacks continue to occur in view of law enforcement agencies and gosh. We might as well police ourselves. No wonder society is in a great big mess. Everyday there's some sort of troll like post. The best thing to do is ignore. It's a waste of time to give the stupidity our valuable attention.
Imagine other writers and authors on the rampage. Just throwing insults back and fourth. Sounds insane. Well, it can happen on social media, where there's no rules. Just posting threatening messages but oh well. No law around so that's how the cookie crumbles. Basically. The wolves keep lurking. They're hungry. Not for improvement just to make other people's lives miserable. One has to develop a tough skin. Otherwise the wolves will devour their prey.
Here's an Interesting Post About the Wolf Pack.

Pedicure Peel - A luxury spa treatment
My boss was doing this observation weekend at the hotel, experiencing each sector of the hotel as a guest would.
As always, my luck proceeded me as I was the Front Desk Co-Coordinator or duty when my boss inquired about treatments.
I nailed the question regarding our promotion for the month, (using Bellabaci suction cups in a massage) I could tell by the tone of her voice that she was impressed.
I had gone the extra mile to find facts out about how the suction cups work and why they are so beneficial. Best of all I felt so good about myself for working hard on it!
I think that I had been so wrapped up and focused on Bellabaci that when she turned to conversation over to one of our normal treatments, a Pedicure Peel, that I went blank.
It really doesn't help that I was already a muddle of nerves, trying to impress her, so I began to stutter and stammer down the phone.
I managed to choke out that it was a treatment that removes the dead skin from the SOLES of the feet.
By this time it was too late.
Alas - me being me, I continued to talk, like projectile vomiting... and obviously this only made things worse.
I spat out 'oh-so-assuringly' that this treatment was 'painless' and 'really good'.
I mean really!?
By this time her entire voice had changed and I could tell that I had disappointed her.
Deep down I knew what the treatment was but I was caught so off-guard that I failed the test. I wanted to throw myself off of a bridge into a river of self-pity.
Chewing my nails down to the skin, I wondered how I could win back her impression of be as a 'good' employee.
And then - magically, it came to me.
I booked myself in for the pedi peel, regardless of cost or the fact that I have NO dead skin to be removed.
I asked the therapist to take me through it while I made an abundant supply of mental notes.
If I was going to sell something - I'd have to know what the hell I was talking about!!!
I walked out of that therapy area after 45minutes on silky soft, heavenly feet, feeling much more knowledgeable about the treatment.
To top this off, I also wrote a review on my experience and emailed it through to her.
She was so proud that I had taken the initiative to learn and better myself.
Below is my review on the pedicure peel that I had on the 01st July 2012:
Your treatment begins by lying on the massage bed in your own private therapy room. Each room had its own unique design and atmosphere.
A heated blanket placed under the sheets is on, waiting to flood you with inviting warmth.
The therapist will cover you in blankets, exposing just the feet. A rolled up towel is placed beneath your knees to position your legs correctly and comfortably.
A fruit acid peel is applied to the hard callous skin with cotton strips and cling wrapped around the feet to set for 20-30minutes.
While the fruit acid is setting, your therapist will get to work on pushing back the cuticles and reshaping the nails as the time goes by.
After 20-30minutes, a wooden spatula is used to scrape off the dead skin that has turned into a gooey gel.
A foot file is then used to even the skin out, for me this can be a rather ticklish sensation and I had to warn my therapist to watch out for my flying legs, something she found to be hilarious!
To finish off, the therapist will wash the peel off in a wooden bowl of luke warm water, using exfoliating salts which neutralizes the peel.
A moisturizing cream is applied as she gently massages your feet with soothing hands.
Your feet literally do not know what has hit them! They feel fresh, clean, new, hygienic and revitalized.
At Pezula Spa & Gym, the treatment costs R150.00 (a complimentary beverage is included plus a 15min lie down on our heated massage waterbeds in the post-treatment room). On top of all of this luxury, the hot zone area which includes the 12m heated swimming pool, the sauna and steam rooms and the rain water showers are at your disposal for the remainder of the day!

Crucial Appeal to go all the way
Orville Clarke, Gleaner Writer
Having led at a fast clip to the last furlong over 1500 metres a week ago, CRUCIAL APPEAL should show rivals a clean pair of heels over a shorter distance in the 3-y-o and up overnight allowance race to be contested by nine starters over the straight at Caymanas Park today.
Trained by Patrick 'Wacky' Lynch, who has done really well with his string of horses this season, CRUCIAL APPEAL looked the likely winner last Saturday when cruising into the straight four lengths clear of the favourite FRANFIELD. But the 4-y-o son of Crucial Trial-Late Appeal shortened in the last furlong and was relegated to third by the fast-finishing HOVER CRAFT with FRANFIELD a length second.
CRUCIAL APPEAL, who led in exciting splits of 23.2, 45.4 for the half mile and 1:11.1 for the first six furlongs, returns rather quickly to contest this race, and with a mere 50.0kg and top apprentice O'Brien White aboard, is tipped to recoup losses.
He has secured a favourable draw on the outside at post position eight, and despite the good claims of FIERCEANDFABULOUS under leading jockey Dick Cardenas, EDISON with smart apprentice Romario Saunders aboard, RED FLAG with champion Dane Nelson, NEW KINGSTON and JANIBOUTICE (all ideally suited to the straight), CRUCIAL APPEAL seems best equipped to take top honours.
The American-bred 3-y-o filly JANIBOUTICE actually beat him when they last met over the straight on August 2, but he was badly drawn on the far rails then and went under by two lengths.
CRUCIAL APPEAL is a different horse now, and given the swing in the weights with the Richard Azan-trained JANIBOUTICE, should not only turn the tables but stave off another Azan horse, EDISON, and FIERCEANDFABULOUS as well.
Elsewhere on the 10-race programme, Cardenas and his guv'nor, champion trainer Wayne DaCosta, should team up to win the seventh and ninth races on the card with ante-post favourites CLASSY PROSPECT and ALSO CORRECT, respectively.
The down-in-class CLASSY PROSPECT is one of 11 horses declared for the $450,000-$400,000 claiming race over 1820 metres, but with none as accomplished as the former grade-one winner, he should have an easy passage, now dropped to this level.
Meanwhile, the three-year-old filly ALSO CORRECT failed by a short head to catch the front-running PRO SECO over 1500 metres when apprentice ridden on August 30, and with stable jockey Cardenas replacing the inexperienced apprentice Marc Griffiths, she should make no mistake. I also like PEARL APPEAL with Nelson up to win the fourth, lightly weighted GOLD RUSH to stave off MINISTEROFJUSTICE in the eighth, and PERFECT GOLD (knocking at the door) with Nelson up in the closing straight-five race for maidens.

Before I launch into trivial matters, I'd just like to say to everyone affected by the hurricane – please take care, I'm sending you good thoughts.
A couple of weeks ago I told you about some silly things I have done. After posting, I remembered some other things, so here is a part two. I thought it only fair that if I am going to publicly ridicule myself, I should also publicly ridicule my friends too, so this list includes one of those.
1) A few years ago I was staying with a friend who had just bought a new Sat Nav (or GPS if you're outside the UK and don't call it Sat Nav). Just before bedtime, she brought it into the living room to show me how it worked, and then forgot to switch it off. I was sleeping on a large inflatable mattress in the living room that night. Shortly after I settled down, the Sat Nav spoke, "Please turn around" it said. In my half asleep state, I thought it was the mattress talking to me, so I turned around. I assumed it must be a highly sophisticated inflatable mattress which assessed your sleeping position, and suggested a better one. For what seemed like the whole rest of the night, every so often, it would pipe up with "Please turn around", each time waking me up, and each time making me more and more frustrated. I can't tell you the range of different sleeping positions I tried that night, whilst muttering with increasing anger "There! Is this better?!".
2) A friend once had cause to send an email to a guy she had had a major crush on for years. The purpose of the email was a practical matter, but she wanted to word it exactly right so that it would leave the door open to possibilities, but without her actually revealing that she liked him. She spent over two hours composing the email. She did things like changed her story about how she had got his email address, she removed punctuation and capital letters to give the impression she had rattled it out in a rush, she put jokes in and then took them out. Each time she saved it to drafts. Finally she was happy and sent it off. Later that day she looked in her sent mail and discovered that she had accidentally sent him every single one of the different versions of the email over the two hour period, instead of just saving them to drafts each time! Oops.
3) Two recent occurrences in my local branch of Marks & Spencer:
a) A few weeks ago I was in the M&S changing rooms trying on a dress. While pulling it over my head, my arm somehow became entangled in the orange emergency cord and I set off the alarm. An assistant had to come and help untangle me, and cancel the alarm.
b) A few days later I was standing in line at M&S to pay for some underwear. A male sales assistant approached me and said "Shall I take those from you?" I must have looked a little concerned because he added "It's ok, I do work here". This set me off giggling, and not just a quick giggle, no, one of those embarrassing increasingly hysterical laughs, which carried on the whole time he was serving me, and which I was unable to stop. To his credit, he tried to humour me by joining in with a little chuckle every so often.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed back in Marks & Spencer.
I have more, but this post is long enough already, so it looks like there'll be a part three (bet you can't wait).
Be safe out there people.

MBP: Distorted Video Problem
[18 July 2009]
And so it happened to me… On a Saturday morning, I am the latest victim of the Macbook Pro Early 2008 bug. Apparently, according to Apple, it is a problem with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor. In my case, it is more than a distorted video. Upon bootup, it shows these distorted lines at first, tries to load the OS, then stops with Apple's own version of BSD (Black Screen of Death i call it) [see screenshots below]. Logic board fail.
The Apple Support website has THIS explanation:
In July 2008, NVIDIA publicly acknowledged a higher than normal failure rate for some of their graphics processors due to a packaging defect. At that same time, NVIDIA assured Apple that Mac computers with these graphics processors were not affected. However, after an Apple-led investigation, Apple has determined that some MacBook Pro computers with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor may be affected. If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within three years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty.
Apple is issuing refunds to customers who may have paid for repairs related to this issue. Please contact Apple for details on the refund process.

Communication & Professional Relationships with Children, Young People and Adults
Effective Communication
This is a key term that covers different principles of relationships. Everything underneath the "umbrella" includes different factors of effective communication. For example listening to others, showing respect, and being considerate all contribute to effective communication. Showing Respect
Everyone is different; they have different backgrounds, values and opinions. From time to time there may be a difference of opinion, but a mutual respect has to develop to ensure effective communication. By avoiding this person due to their opinion, you could fail to pick up some useful information. Being courteous and respectful to everyone is important; to earn respect you need to give it. Being Considerate
Walk a mile in their shoes. Try to understand why a person is behaving in a particular way. They may need time to think, or need somebody to talk to. Just because you're feeling great, don't expect everyone else to. An example of being thoughtful and considerate could be making a cup of tea for a member of staff who is under pressure and feeling stressed. Remembering issues which are important to them
In plain English this is about remembering their name in class or asks about a sibling that they know from before. It is showing that you are taking an interest in them. In turn they may ask how you are. By offering a small amount of information, helps to build a positive relation with them. This is particularly useful when you are a cover supervisor; they are more likely to respond to you. Listen to others
Listening to others is a very difficult skill to acquire. Although obtaining this skill does have its benefits. For example people will find talking to you easy and comfortable, and therefore are more likely to confide in you. To become a good listener you need to take time to listen, show an interest in the person and respond (husbands have a bad reputation as they don't respond appropriately when they are being spoken to, because...

On Saturday, 13 October, greenlight for girls Europe* organized its third annual Greenlight@Brussels Day at the International School of Brussels with the aim of encouraging girls to pursue studies and careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics ("STEM"). Greenlight@Brussels Day 2012, a free event for 11-15 year old girls from the greater Brussels area, was attended by 250 girls who took part in over one hundred volunteer-run, hands-on workshops and activities aiming to show the fun behind science and technology.
Hundreds of inspiring experiments, workshops and Fun Lab activities
Greenlight@Brussels Day 2012 was a day-long, free event full of fun, hands-on workshops in French, Dutch and English, led by professionals — mostly women — from science, math, engineering and technology fields. Young girls who attended the event had the chance to participate in dozens of workshops on topics like "Cosmetic Chemistry," "The Science of Digital Design" and "The Art of VJ-ing."
Girls also got to enjoy an interactive Fun Lab where they experimented with the latest hi-tech gadgets and exciting science projects in areas such as plastics recycling, 3D printing and digital design.
When asked for their own feedback on the day, the consensus among the girls was that Greenlight@Brussels Day 2012 did a terrific job of encouraging girls to choose STEM subjects. And as lessons to their schools and teachers to encourage girls in math and science, their own suggestions included:
- "promote fun and interesting ways for girls to learn";
- "say that girls can do anything boys can do in math and science, and in any career out there"; and
- "host a greenlight for girls event"!
Promoting science, technology, engineering and mathematics to girls of all ages
Recent research underscores that very few young Belgian women are interested in studying in STEM fields, especially computer science. But "digital skills are increasingly essential for jobs and careers across the board," says Cheryl Miller, greenlight for girls European Director and organizer of Greenlight@Brussels Day. "It's critical that we get more girls into these areas, and that we do everything we can to make them excited about studies and careers in STEM," she adds.
Support from outstanding women in STEM
European Commissioners Neelie Kroes, VP of the Digital Agenda, and Màire Geoghegan-Quinn, Commissioner for Innovation, Research & Science, shared messages with Greenlight@Brussels Day 2012 attendees, encouraging them to break the stereotype that science and technology are "just for boys". Keynote speeches and mentoring moments during the day with Martine Tempels, Belgian ICT Woman of the Year in 2012, and Google Software Engineer Emily Soldal, helped to reinforce this message for the girls in real life.
"The girls at g4g had excellent questions and comments and took a real interest in the science demonstrated in the workshops," says Ms. Soldal, Google Software Engineer, about Greenlight@Brussels Day 2012. "I can definitely see several of them becoming important leaders in their chosen fields," she says. "It was an honour to be part of the g4g event, and I hope to return sometime soon," she adds.
Support from the "Daisy-Chain"
Greenlight@Brussels Day 2012 is supported by professionals who volunteer their time to encourage girls to take up studies and careers in STEM areas. "Without the commitment and passion shown by these individuals and partner organizations – that we like to call the "daisy-chain network" – our events would not have the impact they do," says Ms. Miller. "Girls keep coming back year after year, and over time, their study interests reflect a positive shift towards STEM subjects," she adds.
An official part of European e-Skills Week 2012
Greenlight@Brusssels Day 2012 is part of e-Skills Week 2012, an initiative of the European Commission's Directorate for Enterprise and Industry that promotes digital skills for employment. The event also actively supports the "Science : It's a Girl Thing" campaign recently launched by the Commission's Directorate for Innovation, Research & Science, which aims to increase the number of female researchers in Europe to one million by 2020.
Every Greenlight Girl Digital!
Thanks to support this year from Google and a host of other individuals and organizations, Greenlight@Brussels Day 2012 had a greater than usual focus on cultivating digital skills among girls. Fully half of the workshops and Fun Lab activities taught real digital skills girls can use in their daily lives, and inspired them to develop these skills. After participating in the "Art of Digital Music and Video-making" workshop, a 13 year old greenlight girl said she would like to study further in this area, and could definitely see herself becoming a "Computer Scientist" or "Software Designer" in the future.
greenlight for girls ASBL, a Brussels-based organization with a global mission
"In our first three years, greenlight for girls has run dozens of free events promoting STEM to girls around the world," says Ms. Miller, a founding board member of greenlight for girls. "In this short time, we have reached thousands of girls with the message that 'science is fun,' and that with this knowledge 'girls can save the world!'" So far in 2012, Greenlight activities have been carried out in Europe, Africa, North and South America, and Asia.

Thinking For Results
My Favorite Christian D Larson Inspirational Quotes and Thoughts :
In training ourselves to think for results we must constantly bear in mind the great fact that man invariably grows into the likeness of that which he thinks of the most. Therefore, think constantly of what you want to become and your life will daily grow in that direction.
That man can change himself, improve himself, recreate himself, control his environment and master his own destiny is the conclusion of every mind who is wide-awake to the power of right thought in constructive action.
When we understand the laws of thought and think accordingly, we have begun what may properly be termed scientific thinking; that is, we have begun designed thinking;
The purpose of life is continuous advancement and all the laws of life are created for the promotion of advancement in all things and at all times. Therefore, to retard growth is to violate the laws of life while to promote growth is to properly employ those laws of life.
The first essential is to provide what may be termed the mental attitude of normal states of consciousness for all our thinking; that is, to promote only right states of mind whatever the process of thought may be, because such states are always wholesome and are invariably conducive to mental development. In addition, such states tend to hold the various energies of the mind in a working attitude which is highly important when our purpose is to work for results.
There is a state within us where all is still, and as nearly all of us have been conscious of this state at different times we know that it actually exists. To cultivate the consciousness of this state is the real secret of attaining a permanent mental state of peace.
Here we should remember two great truths; that is, that unlimited power is latent within us and that at the depth of our being everything is perfectly still.
Nothing comes from the application of power unless it acts directly upon something, but it cannot act upon anything with the assurance of results unless there is harmony between the power that acts and the thing acted upon.
To secure harmony it may be necessary for both factors to change their present positions. They may have to meet each other half way, but there can be no objection to this.
To cultivate the state of contentment we should live in the conviction that all things are working together for good,
The attitude of gratitude is closely related to that of contentment and is one of the greatest of all mental states;
Every moment therefore is richer than the one before; but if this coming of new life and new opportunities does not add to the richness and value of our own personal life there is a lack of gratitude.
To cultivate the mental state of appreciation we should eliminate all tendency to fault finding, criticism and the like, and we should make a special effort to see the worthy qualities in everything and everybody with which we come in contact.
When we proceed to think for results we think for a purpose.
Both the soul and the mind, with all their powers and possibilities, tend to unfold themselves through the actions of the strong whole souled attitude of kindness.
The attitude of sympathy always acts in close connection with kindness,
The materialistic mind is the descending mind, the mind that is losing ground gradually, and that is daily being overcome more and more by its own perverted and materialistic thought habits.
Here we should remember that the consciousness of superiority does not produce vanity or egotism. When a person has really become conscious of the superiority of his true being he is above all small and questionable states of mind.
When we proceed to think for results we are invariably imbued with the spirit of advancement.
The attitude of resistance is always destructive and therefore interferes with the real purpose of right thinking.
To the practice of non-resistance we should add forgiveness.Forgive everybody, even yourself.
Whether the individual is to move forward or not depends upon what he thinks. His actions, his intentions, his motives, his plans, his tendencies, his efforts—all of these play their part, but they are all the products of thinking, and therefore are invariably like the process of thinking from which they sprang.
Every intelligent person tries to live in accord with natural laws, but as a rule complies only with those laws that deal with the physical side of life. He therefore cannot be in perfect accord with nature because to obey one group of laws and ignore another group will produce nothing but confusion and ultimate failure.
Every thought you think can interfere with your work if not properly constructed.
The idea is that you must clearly fix in mind what you wish to think and work for in the great eternal now.
In fact the very best way to prepare for the future is to be your very best in the present, and if you are your best in the present your future will certainly be better.
A false conception will produce false ideas, false ideas will originate false tendencies and false tendencies will lead the mind into mistakes.
When the seed is good and has been placed in good soil we can truthfully say that a good harvest will be forthcoming.
When we give conscious recognition to a cause we increase its power.
To create a good cause and then ignore it is to deprive it of life during its infancy,
Every plan should be directly related to the purpose which it is intended to promote,
Everything has two sides, the limited or objective side and the unlimited or subjective side.
we should think of the body as a great temple with millions of apartments, each one furnished most gorgeously with nature's own wealth and beauty, and this is what the body really is. Every cell of the body when viewed under a microscope is like a crystal palace, and the body is composed of millions of such.
When we think about life we should always view the sunny side of personal existence and the real life of interior existence.
A great life produces a great mind and a high soul, but to attain the greater life we must enlarge our view of life.
There is a beautiful and a wonderful side to all life, and the possibilities of all life are unbounded.
Every experience can teach us something we do not know; therefore instead of deploring the experience we should receive it with joy and proceed at once to look for the truth it has come to convey.
Reverses come because we have failed to comply with the laws of life, therefore instead of regretting the experience we should use it as a means of finding wherein we have failed.
Whenever anything takes place in your system try to feel the finer forces in that part of the system where the action is taking place.
There are people who make life a burden, but life in itself is anything but a burden.
The destiny of every man in his own creation, be it good or otherwise, but so long as he thinks he is in the hands of this destiny he will fail to intelligently employ his own creations, and will accordingly originate adverse circumstances.

Learn from home working on freelance and open source projects
Collaborate with students from all around the world through pair programming
No upfront cost! Only pay if you get a job after the program
For people who already know how to code but need experience with real-world projects.
Program overview
For beginners who want to start a career in software development.
Program overview
Not sure which program is the right one for you? Click here
We believe that learning should be accessible to everyone. And we know that learning is not just about access to knowledge. It's about support. Our methodology uses remote collaborative learning so people from all around the world can learn together while supporting each other.
The Fast Track program is aimed for people who already have some experience coding and it's focused on giving students the opportunity to work on real world projects and get experience working as part of a professional team.
The Full Program, on the other hand, is designed for people with no prior experience developing software. We will take you from zero to being able to land your first job as a software developer.
Our programs don't have any kind of upfront cost. You will only pay if you get a job after completing one of our program. We believe that everyone deserves an opportunity to become a software developer and our financial model reflects that.
If you get a job as a software developer after completing the Fast Track program, we will charge you 10% of your monthly salary until you pay $7,500.
If you get a job as a software developer after completing the Full program, we will charge you 15% of your monthly salary until you pay $15,000.
The Fast Track program lasts 4 months. The Full Program lasts 12 months.
You should also be prepared to dedicate a few more months after completing the program to apply to jobs.
Both programs are full time programs and require you to attend Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm.
Both programs have an application process that you need to complete before you can get accepted.
The Fast Track program requires that you have at least 3 months of experience learning to code full time or equivalent (e.g. 6 months learning 20 hours a week).
Both programs heave some other basic requirements listed below:
- You need to be proficient in spoken and written English
- You need to have access to a high-speed and stable Internet connection 24 hours a day
- You need to own a computer with a microphone
- You need to enjoy spending time building, learning and working with other people
- You need to be available to join the program full time, Mon - Fri / 8am - 5pm.
Start the application process here.
The application process for the Fast Track program is currently open and we only have a few spots left for the next batch. The sooner you apply, the more likely you will be selected. We onboard a new batch of students every month.
We currently don't have any spot available for the Full Program, but you can click here and we will let you know once the program's application opens.
Our methodology uses collaboration as the main support mechanism. That means you will spend most of your time in the program working with other students on real world projects. It's like running or going to the gym: if it is just you, it's really easy to feel unmotivated, but if you have someone else holding you accountable, there is no better support than that.
Collaborative learning also makes you less likely to get stuck and feel frustrated. There is a Swedish proverb that says: "Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half sorrow".
Also, by learning through collaboration, you not only learn how to code, but also how to be a great team player, mentor and communicator, skills that are very appreciated in the professional world
On top of that, you and your coding partner will get a mentor assigned. Your mentor will help you throughout the program to be able to scope and design the projects.
Yes. Currently, both the Fast Track program and the Full Program require you to participate full time, Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm in your local time.
We will launch a part-time program later on in the year.
The goal of both of our programs is to take you to a point where you will be able to get your first job as a software developer.
In the Fast Track program, we will focus on giving you experience working with real world projects. You and your coding partner will spend most of your time working on freelance projects, contributing to open source projects and building some complex personal projects.
On top of that, we will give you some really strong foundations in computer science and interview prep to make sure you can pass any job interview. Finally, we will make sure that you are comfortable working with some technologies that will make you hirable: JavaScript/React, Ruby and Ruby on Rails, and Node.js.
The Full Program covers everything included in the Fast Track program, but it will also teach you the foundations of software development. You will spend most of your time working on deeply understanding how to think and work as a software developer and building projects in an environment that imitates the real world.
There are three main things that make Microverse unique:
1. No upfront cost: We offer the only remote training program for software developers in the world that doesn't charge any kind of upfront cost. You will only pay Microverse if you get a job as a software developer after finishing the program.
2. Worldwide available: We believe that education should be accessible to everyone, and we have designed our programs so anyone can join regardless of where they live.
3. Collaborative: Microverse not only uses collaboration to keep its students motivated and accountable, but also to help you develop the team work skills necessary to succeed as a software developer in any company in the world.
You don't need experience to join the Full Program, but you need at least 3 months of experience learning to code full time in order to join the Fast Track program.
Yes, we believe that education should be accessible to everyone. Our programs are completely remote and don't have any kind of upfront cost.

Christine Charbonneau, the CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Great Northwest and the Hawaiian Islands, visited Occidental's campus Feb. 12 to discuss her organization's fight against the threats the Trump administration has made to women's health care. Charbonneau did not mince words about the threats Planned Parenthood and women's health care rights are now facing under a Trump Administration.
"Rich women can get abortions no matter what the law is. And poor women cannot and die," Charbonneau said.
As an undergraduate student at the University of Washington and self-described radical feminist, Charbonneau observed that legislation was attempting to limit access to vital family planning health services from disadvantaged communities. She started to volunteer at her local Planned Parenthood, doing everything from taking blood pressures to taking out the trash.
"It was so obvious to me that something needed to be done," Charbonneau said.
During her time as CEO, a position Charbonneau has held since 1993, she said she has seen a tremendous amount of progress already, as the general public has become much more well-informed about reproductive health and women's bodies than she ever imagined. Since she started as the CEO of Planned Parenthood of Seattle, Charbonneau's position has only grown; now she manages more territory than any other Planned Parenthood branch nationwide.
"I wasn't expecting her to be so positive," Micaela Rosato-Stevens (junior), co-vice president of Planned Parenthood club, said. "I felt like I was meeting a Hillary Clinton figure, but one that I liked even more."
Charbonneau pointed to the fact that unintended pregnancy rates are currently at a 30-year low, and likewise, the teen pregnancy rate has fallen to an all-time historic low. A recent Planned Parenthood poll found that 48 percent of Trump voters believe Planned Parenthood should not be defunded. Charbonneau said she believes it is the Trump Administration specifically that is planning to block access, not the opinion of the majority, or even the majority of Republicans.
"I thought I'd have a moment to breathe, Hillary Clinton would be the president of the United States, the Supreme Court would be fine and our big job would be preventing people from getting complacent," she said. "That's apparently not what's going to happen."
But this battle is one Charbonneau and the rest of Planned Parenthood are very prepared to win.
According to Charbonneau, the reinstitution of the Mexico City policy, colloquially known as the global gag rule, which cuts funding to any health program overseas that so much as refers women to a clinic where abortion is provided, is a major threat to women's access to health care services internationally and in the most impoverished communities. Charbonneau also voiced serious concerns about the administration's plan to repeal the Affordable Care Act and the lack of evidence that there will be a retention of the ACA's specific protections for women's health in whatever system replaces the ACA — chief among them ensuring equitable insurance coverage for women and the ability of programs like Medicaid to apply to any reproductive or contraceptive services a woman might need.
Charbonneau said that since the election, she's become much more aware of the fact that the Trump administration is coming after Planned Parenthood specifically. Planned Parenthood has already been under Congressional review for the past five years over, Charbonneau said, nothing.
"I mean, really, nothing. It's just one of those things you get used to," she said.
Her day-to-day schedule changes constantly, but one of the biggest parts of her job is to fight legislative battles. Charbonneau said she tries to be as subversive and disruptive as possible. For example, rather than allowing men to control the oral contraceptive market, Charbonneau and two colleagues decided to found Afaxys, a company that makes high-quality oral contraceptives affordable and accessible to low-income communities and that is competitively keeping market prices low nationwide. Afaxys is now the second-largest supplier of oral and emergency contraceptives nationwide. Charbonneau was also excited about the implementation of Planned Parenthood Online, a new program offering virtual counseling and mail-order contraceptive delivery for women without immediate access to a brick and mortar Planned Parenthood location, or who would face stigma in their communities for seeking regular medical counsel.
For students wanting to get involved, Charbonneau suggests a releasing a collective statement as a campus about reproductive rights, making sure that local health care centers retain their ability to provide the community with contraceptive care and volunteering for their local Planned Parenthood and/or a local LGBTQIA organization. For students who are able, Charbonneau emphasized the importance of donations. When people sent in $10 donations to Planned Parenthood as a gift to Mike Pence for his birthday, everyone collectively raised $13 million. Charbonneau also spoke to the importance of voting.
"We can't afford to have every election other than the presidential election look like a Republican primary if that's what the agenda will be," Charbonneau said.
At the beginning of the semester, Chase McCain (senior), co-president of Planned Parenthood club, said the club focused on figuring out how they could prevent the most damage from happening and how to salvage the situation.
"And then she came and just had a totally different perspective than what we'd all been thinking about as a club," McCain said. "And it was very refreshing and very much needed for us."
